I pitched about a 1/2 cup starter slurry into my wort at 6pm. By 11pm it was bubbling furiously. But by 7am this morning, the airlock was rarely bubbling. And by 6pm today(24 hours), I haven't seen it bubble on its own....
Has me worried.
I feel very confident about this brew. In my opinion, this brewing went much more smoothly.
It was a belgian wit kit with liquid unhopped malt, throw-ins, and a dry yeast. I starter was made with DME. The wort was well aerated, but the starter was not. I forgot. My other mistake(I think), was pouring off the starter beer and pouring in some of the wheat wort. Again I forgot to aerate the starter, and they were starting to bubble in the bottle when I pitched.
I haven't taken a hydrometer reading yet because of the yeast layer on top, and I am pretty sure I have a tight seal on the bucket.
Should I take action, or wait?
Thanks,
WW
